For them to be useful you have to open the box and plug it in :smiley:

They are brilliant bits of kit, just not for you.

Just bought 4 of these today at £12-50p each, bargain. There is one left on shelf at Sainsbury Watchmoor park (near Blackwater/M3J4)

these were on sale recently for £12.50 each in Sainsburys, gutted I missed them :/

I can see the price going back up to 35

Because I've been getting vague answers over when UK stores will be restocked I rang TP-link UK about it. They are 'expecting' a shipment to arrive in the UK at the end of Jan and, according to the sales lady, it will be early Feb by the time they hit the stores/retailers.

Of course things may get delayed further, but it will be at least a month until you'll be able to get these on tap again. Even then I doubt they'll last long since demand has been very high (probably due to Amazon dot sales) with the sales lady saying they've had a lot of enquiries about this particular product range.

6 in stock at Kingston Sury Basin store yesterday 8pm

Just got 4 in the Irvine store in Ayrshire. Also aware both Drumchapel, Glasgow & East Kilbride still have 6 in stock following a recent phone call to customer care

I've just got 4 of these from the Darlington superstore. It sounded like they had at least one more available if anyone is still interested

So tell me, if it's not lamps u r using these for what else are u using them for

Lol
That's because they're relays turning on/off a 240v power line. A dim, are you mad? Imagine if it's not a lamp, but something like a computer or TV or something? The power dropping slowly would... not be good.
They're not light switches. They're power switches. If you want dimmers, buy dimmers.
You might have totally misunderstood what this thing is for. You can buy the things you're describing - they're different products.

Wanna sell your HS100s? I'll take 'em off your hands if you're semi-local.

Heads up for anyone near Leigh, went in yesterday, they had 8 on the shelf so I bought one, liked it so much went back today and they had nine on the shelf so they obviously had more in the stockroom since my visit yesterday, bought 2 more at 1.30pm so there are still seven left, good luck if you are nearby

Tempted to drive 22 miles to Warrington, but knowing my luck they'll be oos when I get there!!

They have these in stock in Sainsburys warrington if that helps anyone. Also had the energenie starters too.

Same happened to me, ordered 3 to collect today, order was still there when I left to pick them up. On arrival, order had been cancelled without notice. Guy at C&C said their system isn't live and item only picked overnight! When I got home, order was still up, and called them. Stated I'd collected the order!!!!! No way! I complained and they have me a £10 apology voucher - would rather have had the items I'd ordered. Cant believe they do not work in real time stock

Didn't realise you were local, thats who cancelled my order. I nipped in yesterday morning on the off chance to check the shelves but there was an empty space above the price tag :disappointed:

So set up the thing last night and I suppose I owe this forum a review as I also ask for other people feedback.
Pros
Setup not difficult took few mins
The thing works well
U can group diff sockets together to switch on and off on one command all of them as well as individually
Now to the cons
The stupid green led light which is constantly on is annoying at night when it's dark pitch if it's on sight level
I was worried last night not sure if it's just me but felt surrounded by wifi signal as had few of them all over the bedroom
There is a clicking on and off noise similar to the standard remote sockets. At this price range I expect a smoother more modern soft on or off and even a dim, while this is no diff to the remote on and off click basic ones which u can pick up 5 sockets and a remote for 25 quid delivered from amazon
So the only advantage is Alexa and I didn't find it fair to my partner for me to be shouting Alexa turn on this light or that first thing in the morning.
I ld much prefer a dimming function and a softer non click operation
And one more thing
The tp link socket is so fat it takes both sockets in the wall as no space to plug anything else next to it
Also the sockets get warm not sure why or if that's acceptable
Finally it would be nice if this controlled all lighting as it central ceiling lamps and spot lights etc
But this unit connects your lamps that u can connect to the socket
U ld still have to get up and switch off the spots lights and all other lights connected to the mains switch
What would be smart of tp link is to phase out this old Stone Age socket and come up with a smoother operation silent no clicking on off, maybe a dimmer option as well as no led green lights as part of a complete package for a reasonable price to all remote switches and sockets and maybe even lamps. I think it's horrific to pay 40-50
Quid per single Philips bulb
I ld rather tp link provided a switch as part of a package to change the mains switch

It's like tesco wild goose chase deals (for some!!)

I'm tempted to drive 10 miles to the bigger sainsburys but my guts telling me that they'll probably have 0 in stock too!!

Sainsbury's are a shambles. Never knew it's picked from store and website not live. expire page as no longer on website

Such a shame this thing doesn't dim ahhh

How much stock please

Thanks OP. I also ordered 4 from Sheffield Archer Road store but got a call to say only 2 in stock. I was charged £22 in total as they kindly honoured the £18 new customer offer. I would have been happy to pay £40 for 2 so very pleased. Nice one Sainsbury's!

Biggleswade store

Biggleswade store

Got mine delievered today. more stock had arrived in Northampton.

Where was that

Where was that

Ordered 4 for collection, went to collect and only got 2 total cost £25.00.
£12.50 each instead of £16.25 so not a bad result in the after all.

Result.

Sorry mate must of got the last ones at bamber bridge

Went to collect mine from the Maypole store Birmingham and no click and collect van in site went to customer services and they tried calling him but no answer then eventually he arrived but didn't have my order. He gave me an 0800 number to call and eventually they admitted they had messed up with stocks and were very apologetic and after complaining I'd had a 50 mile round trip they offered me a £25 voucher which I accepted and it was e mailed to me within minutes.

I ordered 4 to collect, was not hopeful, just been to collect and they only had 1; that does mean that it has only cost me £2 though, they honored the £18 voucher. I am very pleased with that. :sunglasses:

Sainsburys down, or just me? Can't see anything on Google about it.

Can these be dimmed though

#jealous :disappointed::man:

I'd also ordered some for delivery and remained hopeful - but just rang now to make sure they don't send me any substitutions to find they're OOS and they've cancelled that order too.

Humbug!

​Cheers buddy, let me know :-) And I know, poor bloke!

LOL - My son just dragged himself out of his pit. I said, Oh sorry son are the xmas tree lights too bright for you? He looked at me like I was mad and said no! I said yes they are, and then "Alexa, Xmas Tree off" He started laughing and I just creased up. Sad I know, but I don't care!!!! Need more people to visit me now!! :-)

Are you kidding me!!!! I'll be doing this for weeks!!!! :-)

But what are your plans for next weeks amusement!? :smiley:

​​Same here mate... it's a blast! What's even funnier is hearing my wife shouting the "Xmas tree lights are faulty " as I send on/off command at the echo dot upstairs!

​​Same here mate... it's a blast! What's even funnier is hearing my wife shouting the "Xmas tree lights are faulty " as I send on/off command at the echo dot upstairs!

No worries mate I'll keep you in mind. They swapped mine for a HP Wireless Mouse too. Poor Dave in the click and collect van is probably fed up with them by now!

Well, waited patiently for my 1 hour time slot delivery and rubbed hands as the delivery driver walked to the door with the delivery....'' sorry your delivery was out of stock so we have 4 alternatives''......what did he hand me? 4 powercube 15m extension leads!!! It took all my reserves to refrain from telling him to jam them right up his a...?.....

Just got the call too and I live in Potters Bar. Oh well the search continues...

LOLOLOLOLOL - Just turned my Xmas tree lights on and off using the app for the first time. You'd think I just flew to the ruddy moon. I laughed and was so pleased with myself :-) Now to hook it up to Alexa.

Oh my word - Hooked up to Alexa and can't stop switching the damn lights on and off - Like a freaking kid at Xmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm loving it!!!!

​Wish I'd seen this before I set off, got there they did have 1 HS100 for my collection but then there was a HP mouse and they'd not bothered to sub the other two plugs! I called Emerson's who said they had 6, so drove there and they didn't have any either; extremely poor customer service IMO
Will definitely take you up on your offer if your dad doesn't want them ;-)

How to make my TP-Link Kasa devices work with Amazon Echo?
Supported models: Kasa smart plugs (HS100, HS110), Kasa smart switch (HS200), Kasa smart lightbulbs (LB100, LB110, LB120, LB130).

Got the dreaded call. :disappointed:

And had missed out on the Argos deal. Back to the drawing board!!

Snap. I only got 3, but turns out that the code from PLU13C was £18 off £60 anyway, so only £42 for 3 for me, ie £14 a piece.Nice to know they would have honoured the code anyway though.

Just been to collect mine. Ordered 4 only 2 in stock but honoured £18 first click and collect discount so £22 for 2. Thanks OP!!
​

Which store please

Where? Bamber Bridge called me this morning to say the order was cancelled as they had no stock.

Stock at preston where I got mine

4 left on shelf Ipswich Sainsburys

​It was a black friday deal long gone now sorry.

That's where I went m8, save yourself a trip. They have none left on the shelf (my fault) and they send from Emersons who don't have so will sub. 2 of the ones I got are for my dad so if he doesn't want them you can have them.

I ordered some yesterday and I'm collecting at 10:30 (Bristol, Filton) so I'll update with my experience later on...

Well I have an update. So I rejected the mouse, went into the shop to get some milk and checked the tech ailse and they had the Sockets on the shelf!!! Took them to customer services and after 10 mins of explaining it all I got what I ordered and they sorted the code out too so 4 sockets for £62. Relieved.

Worth checking in store for anyone else as it turns out that the Sainsbury I ordered from has its click and collect supplied from a different store (which clearly had no stock!!) and they don't check any other stores.

That's hilarious how f.... up is this place
Did u not ask for compo

Those who got the dreaded calls Where these click and collect or delivery

I didn't get the phone call I just got to sainsburys to collect to be told they had replaced my order with a wireless mouse. Lol

That is really poor service from Sainsbury's
I wonder if they r doing this on purpose as now all this new customers registered

No one called me yet

Ditto

Same here gutted

Just had the dreaded phone call, none in stock ☹️

​Thanks. I was aware that alexa uk is now working with IFTTT. I was pointing to the fact that these switches do not work with IFTTT unlike, say, the Wemo ones.

What Argos deal please

Thanku for the info
Just spoke to the call centre an hour ago and they said no stick left anywhere.

C&C from Wrexham. The driver (who was waiting in the C&C bay in the car park) had come from Ellesmere Port.

​I have been a great fan of the remote control plugs in the past but these are a step forward, they do everything the remote control plugs do but with Amazon Dot via voice which ok maybe weird or lazy but why not. But the best thing is they can be controlled from anywhere, my static caravan has two installed so I can switch on the heating or lighting at anytime from anywhere. Via the app you can also set up timers etc

Great deal thanks reserved 3 for £42 for collection tomorrow.
I've already got 2 from the Argos deal and they work great with Alexa.

It now does in the UK

https://ifttt.com/amazon_alexa

Chaps even

Thanks to the responses by the way chops

Which shop

Oh wow where was this

Thanku
Which store

Managed to pick them up after all from the shop. God knows why people seed of doubt me

Worked for me, 9pm thurs in stock. Heat!

Ordered three earlier today for C&C late this afternoon, using the £18 off code. Had a phone call at lunch time to say they only had two left, so did I want them. Errr, yes please.

Even though the price of two was under the threshold for the code, it was applied anyway, so including the £2 collection fee, I ended up paying £24 for two :-)

I cancelled my order as they said they had none but hopefully you will be luckier

Couldn't find any at my local. :disappointed:

If I've placed an order for collection will I find out whether or not they've found any before my collection time? Don't want to try 7 miles to find that they're not in stock. :/

​i went and got mine directly off the shelves. if you do c&c/delivery, it'll be down to whether the staff member doing the picking finds them.

if you're near sainsburys, I'd just go. they were in the spring sale aisle near the entrance in our store, alongside WiFi boosters and similar tp link branded stuff

went and bought the last two from sainsburys team valley - thanks OP! <3

This doesn't seem to be an active or helpful post, no one is confirming anything one way or another apart from op

How does C&C work with these kind of items - are they treated as groceries and are picked on the day of delivery/collection, in which case they may be out of stock?

​Less likely that yours will turn on randomly as exploits pop up.

Sure the local radio can be attacked, but that is vs the entire Internet's worth.

Can u talk some more? In English ?

So is that out of stock for both delivery and click and collect???

That's why people are buying them, they don't want to buy something else and then have to learn how to set up an android bridge to save a few pennies, the ease of use and set up is what justifies the cost

instead of paying these ridiculous prices for wifi plugs, buy a Broadlink RM Pro hub and then use much cheaper RF plugs such as Energenie (currently £20 for 4) if you set up an android bridge they are controllable with alexa

Right rung Sainsbury's who checked stock and couldn't find any. Unbelievable !!!! Why advertise it and allow us to buy them if you can't honour the deal. Gutted. Apologies everyone .

Can anyone who got a delivery or pickup confirm they received these and Sainsbury's not botched up

£4 collection fee if under £40

That's another remote though, with this I can either control with Alexa like my other devices or my iPhone, one stop shop for everything instead of having to find another remote

I have a remote but rather than trying to find it i ld rather just pair it to Alexa and tell it what to do
Equally I have a radio but it's a lot more user friendly to tell Alexa to play BBC R2 rather than going to switch on the radio and do the presets thing
It's not much in it but it's a step up from the remote

Nooooooo

Don't tell me this I'm gonna be gutted when the shop arrives tomorrow

I have a remote control that turns on/off 4 electrical sockets within a room. I use it for the lamps and hard to reach PC plug. And it seems exactly what you need rather than this.

Unless you're away all the time, just get a timer lamp to deter thieves for example when you go on holiday.

If you can get the kettle to boil from upstairs, that's something my gadget can't do due to limited range of having to be within a couple of rooms. Although my kettle doesn't boil just by turning the electric on - and I would still need to fill it with water. Nevertheless the kettle idea is at least plausible. Nearly everything else people have suggested has been possible with my gadget and I don't have to speak to the house which is weird frankly.

I ordered these at this price on tuesday. Groceries just arrived. No plugs in stock. Good luck but think this is a massive flaw from sainsburys. I can even go on and reorder them fine right now

Anyone got a code I can use to search for these please? Site just is not working for me.

Using mine to time oil heaters turning on and off automatically to save on electricity and also to use on demand via alexa.

I'm going to use mine on some lamps with hard to get to plugs, also will look to use the TP link app to put a schedule on while I'm away to deter would be thiefs

Im still not really seeing the benifits of these sorry maybe im just old but seems a lot of money when i can just use a light switch or turn tv on with remote

I kind of want these but can't think of anything I'd use them with.

What do people use these with?

Now placed a 'click & collect for' a store 25 miles away. Worth it for a gallon of fuel! (NB - bought 4)

Does this dim lights or just on off

https://youtu.be/VIP50LYd-rI

Check the babylons on this thing

just ordered x4 thanks op

Finally got through to a shopping trolley stage - 'product no longer available' Joy, joy!

Can't get the website to place them in my trolley. They appear for purchase but will not be added to your trolley until you log in, or add your postcode. Then it tells you it can't find the item. Nice robust customer-centric website, Sainsbury's!

​Can't you ask Alexia to pick it up for you?

Product not available for delivery and my nearest click and collect store is 20 miles away :disappointed:

I love these plugs with Echo dot & tp link plugs. I connected up most of my bedroom and I have a heater connected too https://youtu.be/sNRhkD678MM

I got that too on firefox, changed to internet explorer and it was fine.

Really for lamps or things like that.

Haha touché

It states £65 instead of £100, when I went to school 4 x 20 was 80....

If you're getting product not available - try doing click and collect and selecting a different store. If you have delivery selected and your local store doesn't have stock it'll give the 'not avail' message, but there might still be stock at a different store that you can collect.

Good product and price. Just a shame that it does not integrate with IFTTT.

The Sainsbury wesite is down right now.

Who broke Sainsburys?

Love my echo and 2 dots, kids love asking them to play songs, etc. However I'm unsure what I'd use these for, I really don't plug all that much in that I'd want to switch on and off often enough to necessitate such voice activation.

​You know you had to plug it in, right???

I find it absolutely brilliant
I use t to play music and radio and Spotify
Now the lighting will be a great addition

Can you choose the click and collect option from your local store?

At least you gave it a go.

Trying to register with Sainsbury's but because they don't home deliver groceries , seems to be refusing me opening an account , great buy though ,my son was absolutely delighted with his echo for Xmas ,these would be great to spend Xmas money on, heat added op

Playing up

Sainsburys site down from what I can see

Better still use these codes posted earlier for £18 off:

XCMKNHDE for home delivery
XCMKNCCE for click&collect

Just worked for me on setting up anew account with different email address, pick up tomorrow from my local.

great price as was looking to order one for £25 now got 4 for £62. :smiley: just not sure what I am going to make smart now

Heat added just ordered 4 and set up a new account using the code from P13ULC so paid £62 works out at £15.50 each BARGAIN!!!!

Gimmicky nonsense. My echo is getting returned unopened to Amazon for some credit to go towards something actually useful

​Amazon vouchers?

Great deal, struggling as I already have Lightwaverf and want to use same tech... but so cheap..

Bought four of these for £16:49 each a few weeks back (Argos)

Half fill the kettle, ask Alexa to switch on from upstairs, Kettle is boiled as I reach the Kitchen.

Also had the xmas lights on a timer and LED lights under the kitchen units, very handy when leaving the kitchen with a brew in each hand to simply say "Lights off".

ordered. heat. thanks.

Outstanding! Thanks. Ordered the set of 4. Was so annoyed I missed these around this price last time.

Ordered with discount, hope all ok for C&C this Friday. Heat

Title was misleading, Im thinking 4 for £65, not bad, but in your small print "Also if you have not shopped with Sainsbury's before you can get an extra £15 off orders over £75 using the promo code SCSEAXFDC at checkout" I have shopped at Sainsbury's before, so, not £65 for me, but £80, should amend title to first time customers only.

I have seen a lot of people say this about using it with a kettle but surely unless the kettle doesn't have a switch them it's useless for that.

Struggling with the point of putting one of these on a kettle! :smiley:

Hot, Hot, Hot - Just ordered 4 for collection on Friday, total cost £65.00.
Thanks great deal.

I'm confused I am able to order some for collection from my local store for Friday ?

I can`t check sainsburys from here but from the picture this is the non uk plug and socket? version, should be easy to fix with adapters if it supports uk voltages?

Definitely not in stock when I try to check out?

no stock available, if you attempt to checkout

And definitely still in stock

Data sheet for the product with correct photo

http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/HS100(UK)_V1_QIG.pdf

Uk stock so will have uk faceplates. Just an image error on their side

umm so is noone going to point out that the plugs appear to be European socket types?
(doesn't say no longer available for me)

No longer available

Thanks

I have an echo , what is purpose of this?
